A day in the life of our student - Rick

09:00 WALK TO SCHOOL

Although the public transport works very well in Valencia, I prefer to walk to school. I love to walk through beautiful parks and streets on my way to school.

09:30 SPANISH CLASSES

All groups have two teachers. One of them teaches from 9:30 until 11:15 and another one from 11:30 until 13:30. The teachers teach us Spanish in a fun way and are always helpful. Because there are students from different cultures in my class, I learn a lot about other cultures too.

14:00 LUNCH

The teachers don't only help me with my Spanish, but they also tell me about the nicest places in Valencia. After school, my friends and I like to visit the restaurants they recommended for lunch. I love Spanish food like “paella” and “pinchos”, but of course Valencia has a lot more to offer.

16:30 AFTERNOON ACTIVITY

The school has an activity schedule with lots of fun activities for almost every day of the week. The activities are not obligatory, but I would recommend you to participate in all of them! It is a great way to get to know other students, make new friends and practice your Spanish.

18:30 HOMEWORK

The homework we get helps us with practicing our Spanish after class. The next day at school the teacher will look at our homework with us and we can see what we have to improve

20:00 LIFE IN THE SHARED APARTMENT

I live in a student apartment about 25 minutes away from the school by foot. I have my own room and I share the apartment with a boy from Germany and a girl from Italy. We can chat for hours... all in Spanish! I'm sure we'll always stay in touch, and we plan to meet again one day in the beautiful Valencia.

21:30 VALENCIA AT NIGHT

There is always something happening in Valencia! On schooldays I like to go to the cinema, concerts or city centre with my friends. The school also organizes activities in the evening like a tour or a flamenco concert. Valencia has a great nightlife scene, which I love to enjoy in the weekend. Having a drink at the famous “L' Umbracle club” in the city of Arts and Sciences and joining the local parties is something you'll have to experience!
